Trading Rules & Guidelines

We keep our rules simple, fair, and transparent. Learn how to manage your risk and keep your account in good standing.

Stage 1: 8% | Stage 2: 5%

Profit Target

To pass the evaluation stage, you must achieve a simulated profit of 8% on your initial balance. For the verification stage, the target is reduced to 5%. Once funded, there are no profit targets.

5% Limit

Daily Drawdown Limit

The daily loss limit is set to 5% of the starting equity of the day. The daily limit resets every day at 00:00 UTC. Going below this threshold at any point during the day violates the daily loss rule.

10% Limit

Max Drawdown Limit

The maximum total drawdown limit is 10% of the initial account balance. Your account equity must never fall below 90% of your starting challenge balance. This is static and does not trail.

Allowed Trading Practices

  • •
    Weekend Holding: You are allowed to hold simulated positions over the weekend. No restriction.
  • •
    News Trading: High-impact news trading is allowed during the evaluation phases and on funded status.
  • •
    Expert Advisors (EAs): Using custom indicators, automated trade managers, and personal EAs is fully permitted.
  • •
    No Minimum Days: Pass as soon as you hit the profit target. There are no minimum trading day limitations.

Prohibited Activities

  • •
    Arbitrage Trading: Using latency arbitrage or trading on artificial price feeds is strictly prohibited.
  • •
    Grid / Martingale Abuse: High-density grid or martingale systems executed without risk management blockages.
  • •
    Account Sharing: Multiple traders accessing the same simulated credentials or copying trades across unrelated users.
  • •
    Inactivity Rule: Accounts that show no trading activity for 30 consecutive days will be deactivated.

How Daily Drawdown is Calculated

Daily limit is calculated at 00:00 UTC using the higher of either your account Balance or Equity at that exact moment.

Daily Limit = starting_day_balance_or_equity - (starting_day_balance_or_equity * 0.05)

For example, if your balance at midnight UTC is $100,000, your equity must not drop below $95,000 at any point during that day. If your equity falls below $95,000, your challenge is failed. Open profit or loss impacts the live equity calculation.
